INTRODUCTION. 

In the preparation of this little book, the 
motives of the compiler have been other then 
those of profit or popularity. A worthier object, 
one of broader and deeper purport, will perhaps 
manifest itself in, and grow out of its careful ex- 
amination and use ; that of enabling the many- 
thousands of Farmers and Stockowners through- 
out the country, who have devoted less attention 
and fewer years to the treatment of animals to 
reap the benefit of his experience. 

This pocket guide-book is not intended to take 
the place of a qualified Veterinary Surgeon, but 
rather to aid the farmer and stoekowner who is 
not within reach of a good Veterinary Surgeon, 
and are often thrown entirely on their own re- 
sources; or is obliged to call some-one who 
knows but little more about medicine then the 
owner of the animal himself. Let such consult 
this book for treatment, with full assurance that 
if the recipes it contains are carefully prepared 
from good drugs, the mission of this little book 
will be accomplished, and hundreds of dollars 
may be saved from its use. 

With this object in view and my abiding in- 
terest in the noblest and most useful of animals, 
I now place before you THE FARMER AND 
HORSEOWNERS' VETERINARY GUIDE. 
Rochester, N. Y., 1881. 



DIRECTIONS FOR GIVING MEDICINE. 

Always approach the animal quietly ; In giving 
a ball let an assistant hold the mouth open, place 
the thumb of the left hand in the roof of the 
mouth, the fingers of the right x^ressed down on 
the lower jaw ; always stand on the right side. 

The operator then gently draws the tongue 
out with his left hand, placing the ball between 
the fingers of the right hand and passing it well 
over the root of the tongue leaving it there; 
letting go of the tongue quickly closing the 
mouth when the animal is compelled to swallow. 

Never use a sharp stick or anything of that 
kind to force a ball down the animal, as this 
often leads to serious accidents, never pull hard 
on the tongue for fear of injuring it. 

In giving a drench let an assistant gently pull 
the animals head up to some ring or joist. The 
operator standing on the right side can easily 
give a drench, which is best given out of a long- 
necked bottle. 

Be careful not to get the bottle between ihe 
animals teeth. If the animal should commence 
coughing let the head down ; never pour med- 
icine down the animals nostrils which might 
result serious. Never pull the tongue out while 
giving a drench. 

Give physic or laxative medicines after hav- 
ing been prepared one or two days before with 
soft-food. Let the animal fast three hours after 
medicene, feed warm mashes. 

In blistering clipp the hair off as close as pos- 
sible, apply to the blister for fifteen minutes 
with smart friction, tie the horse's head till the 
effect of the blister has passed off. 

Apply a little Olive Oil or pure lard to the 
part, the second or third third day after.
